This is, however, not the only intoxication. A man's absorption in the affairs of his life also keeps him intoxicated; and besides the intoxication of his work and affairs in which his mind is absorbed, there is a third intoxication, and that is the attachment that a man has to himself, the sympathy he has with himself. It is this intoxication which makes him selfish, greedy, and very often unjust towards his fellow-men. The effect of this intoxication is that a man is continually feeling, thinking, and acting with the idea in mind of what would be to his interest, what could bring him an advantage;" and in this idea his whole life and all his time become fully involved. It is this intoxication that makes him say, "This one is my friend and that one is my enemy; this one is my well-wisher, but that one is against me"; and it is this intoxication that builds the ego, the false ego of man.
